My New Goal!

Well, after a little more weight gain, enough is enough! I'm just playing at it. I seem to diet when it suits me an when I can be bothered. I haven't been to the gym in goodness knows how long! And, I can remember the feeling I had when I'd been....I felt fantastic, so I've decided to set a new realistic (I think and hope!) goal.

I want to get to 65kg (which was what I was on Christmas Eve) for our Wedding Annivesary on 9th September. So that's just over 18 weeks away. If I can lose more, then that's fab, but I'm going to set that as my goal.

I'm also a bit "over" counting points, so I've going to see how this goes: no drinking alcohol, exercising (step and pump classes, gym work and also additional walking at home) and following the WeightWatchers plan, but just not pointing it. I think sometimes that this is why I go off on a tangent, because I don't have the time to sit and log everything online.

So watch this space :)

Back from hols and another new start...

We're just back from an 8 day camping trip up on Coffs Coast. We stayed at a fab campsite and had a really lovely relaxing time. Unfortunately, with that came eating too many of the wrong foods, so I've gained almost 3kg :( But back on track today and will be going back to the gym too. We're not back at work until after Anzac day, which is over another week away, so we're looking forward to some lovely family time.

My Dad

Today would have been my Dad's 72nd birthday. We've always bought flowers on our Dad's birthdays or anniversaries of them passing, but Nige had the lovely idea of us buying a flowering shrub to plant at a couple in lovely places in memory of our Dads, so that's what we're going to do.

There's not one day that goes past when I don't think of my Dad. He was such a wonderful man. I so wish that he had seen Jacob and Jessie.

Friday's weigh in

Pleased to say that I'm 500g down. Last weekend, being my birthday, I did eat a few naughty puds and a bit of choccie, but I didn't drink a sip of booze.

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've lost 2kg this week :)

I've really enjoyed my week too. I haven't exercised as much as I wanted, but I'm so pleased with my loss.

It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm hoping to be spoilt a bit ;) We're going out for the day, only to the beach and then back home for a fish and prawn barbie. I'm not drinking at all, so I'm treating myself to a banana and caramel pud yummo!!!!!!

A good start!!

I'm pleased to say that I've lost 1kg this week and it's that dreaded time of the month too, so a bit of a shocker!!


I've had such a good week though, compared to previous weeks. I'm feeling lots better than I did, I've been sticking to my WW plan but I haven't exercised because I burnt my leg quite badly last week and it's still quite sore when I walk.






Jacob's started school this week which was a big thing for us, just like all families.

Another new start..............

I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing posting this, but it's kind of a "blame and shame" thing.

I'm disgusted to say that I now weigh 73.3kg!!! Christmas Eve I weighed in at 66.8kg

I've been putting Nige through a terrible time lately and it's all because I've been drinking. It's got to stop, otherwise I will lose everything and everyone.

I've been slowly going back in to a deeper depression. The Doctor has increased the dose of my happy pills, so I'm looking forward to that kicking in!!

So, yet again, another new start for me!!

I'm going to track track track my points, exercise and stay off the booze. This will hopefully get the old Rachel back.
